When we as scientists have a platform to speak to the general public on a topic as scientists, then scientific standards of evidence must still hold. My opinions on art are just some dude's opinions on art, my opinions on psychology and human behavior are professional opinions.
I'm a priori sympathetic to Haidt's position (and I will still restrict social media for my kids), but I find his cavalier attitude towards evidence incredibly frustrating. It would be better if he just said these were his opinions.

🧠 🚀 This work could change how we understand scarcity-related decision-making! We don't always see an overall "scarcity effect." The circumstances surrounding scarcity matter and ought to be further explored.🌍

🤔 Decisions under scarcity aren't necessarily hasty! Scarcity doesn’t cause overall inability or indifference to the future. We find that people aim to make contextually appropriate decisions.

💡 Time horizon matters! When important needs threatened by scarcity are shorter-term, people feeling poor favor smaller, sooner sums of money. When those needs are longer-term, they are NOT more impatient but sometimes MORE so than people not experiencing financial scarcity.

Key Findings: 🌟Prevailing work suggests that scarcity leads to myopic, impulsive, short-sighted decision making. We find evidence for another, less widely held view. Scarcity doesn't just make us impulsive! People try to meet their most important needs given their circumstances.

📢New Paper Alert! 📢What is the relationship between financial scarcity and intertemporal choices (e.g., tradeoffs between now and later - like getting a smaller amount of money today or a larger amount in the future)? A thread on key findings:

Sounds like a great initiative for underfunded schools
Interesting initiative at JCR to help fund data collection for underfunded scholars with promising but incomplete papers. I'm very curious what kind of take-up there will be. In the meantime, spread the word... https://t.co/GBWxmf4kPn
